Watch: an official F1 afterparty
Matteo performing at The GR1D Club's official Formula 1 afterparty, 2022 — the format at full speed: close-up magic in the middle of the party.
Why close-up magic is made for race week
A Grand Prix weekend concentrates executives, sponsors, celebrities and international guests into paddock clubs and hospitality suites where entertainment has to work in short, high-energy windows between sessions. There is no stage, no silence, and no guest who will sit still for a show — the racing is the show.
Close-up magic and mentalism are built for exactly this environment: no setup, no sound system, immediate astonishment at conversational distance. Matteo moves group to group as the suite fills and empties with the session schedule — a borrowed ring, a signed card, a thought spoken aloud — creating the moment guests talk about between sessions and long after the podium.
And because a Grand Prix guest list is international by definition, Matteo's multilingual performance — English, Italian and Hungarian, with effects that work below the level of language — means every guest in the suite gets the same impossible moment.
